This was an interesting book that had me cringing and wanting to turn the page to see what happens next. I loved the resolve and tenderness of the characters. This story was an eye opener for me and shows that anyone can go through anything and still make it if they have enough determination. The authors love for her family was apparent on each page and was what kept me hoping for a better outcome.

Wow. Really good book. It was a little difficult to keep track of all the characters in the beginning but once I got a handle on it I really enjoyed the rest of the book.

I really enjoyed this book. Very suspenseful. Even when I thought I knew what probably happened I still found myself unsure. All of the characters were so real, I felt like I really knew them. Great book!

wow! what a great story. I was drawn in right away. Kristin Hannah has a beautiful writing style. Her words painted pictures for me, I felt as though I was a character in the story. This was such a profound story and after reading it I plan on learning more about the "mystery". Make sure you have plenty of kleenex, this book is a tear jerker!
